| Description of the problem | In march 2009 my 2005 nissan armada, which i bought new in late 2004, started to have problems with the brakes. The red warning lamps light up and the car lost most of its braking power, like not having any servo support. There were also noise and a soft pulsing feeling. We found that if we turned of the engine and then started it again, everything worked fine. Nissan could not find any faults with the car. The problem repeated itself 4-6 times a year. Nissan could still not find any faults they could not repeat the fault when they had the car in for tests. In july 2012, on my annual service, i asked again about the brakes. I was then told that other customers have had the same problem and that they now has a solution for the problem. I am surprised that nissan has not recalled the failing brakes. Nissan's answer is still that there was no problem. I have the work papers to show what was needed to fix the problem. |
